The moral outrage over the Big Brother 'incident' is getting louder and louder.
Little Johnnie Hunt has joined the chorus of 'middle Australia' and has called for the program to be axed. Of course a man who lied about refugees throwing their children off boats knows all about upholding fine moral standards.
Yes, the incident (rather amusingly known as 'Turkey Slapping') was unpleasant but the Big Brother producers took the right action and evicted the boys involved. What else were they meant to do? No criminal charges are being laid on the boys and Camilla herself has said that it was just a joke that got a little out of control and as soon as she asked them to stop, they did. I'm not trying to excuse what they did but let's not blow this out of proportion eh?
The best quote so far comes from Queensland Premier Peter Beattie when asked if he believed the program should be taken off air:
'Look, we have so much American crap on our television I think a bit of Australian nonsense doesn't do any harm, frankly.'
Quite.

I thought this was quite outrageous until I saw the video of it.
She wasn't exactly an unwilling participant from what I could see - she even stayed in the bed snuggling up to one of them.
Probably quite right to throw them off the show, as it is a bit out of order etc, but it does seem a bit out of proportion.
